In 1956, U.S. Army Captain Nick Andrews is sent to Havana to calm American nerves. Washington wants to believe Cuba is stable. Business interests demand reassurance. The Mafia counts on uninterrupted profits. Nick's job: confirm that the island remains in friendly hands.

But what he finds is a nation on the edge — its people restless, its leader corrupt, and a quiet revolution already rising in the shadows. As idealist Fidel Castro sails toward Cuba's eastern shore, Nick tracks him across land and sea, even as his growing bond with Lucia Comas, a Cuban heiress, draws him deeper into the island's fate.

Nick sounds the alarm. Washington doesn't listen. And when the U.S. interferes anyway, it triggers the very uprising it meant to avoid.

Caught between duty and truth, love and loyalty, Nick must choose which side of history he's willing to stand on—before Cuba burns.
